Does paying more NIL really equate to wins? The highest team in mlb standings right now has the 28th out of 30 highest payroll, i.e. spends the third lowest amount

The Celtics of 86 were better than any team LJ "put together". The Lakers of 87 the same. The pistons of 90. The bulls of 97 etcc. You think the Bulls weren't "put together" Come on man. The problem and challenge that the current players have now is that even though the salary cap continues to rise, the salaries are just so high that they can have a couple of super players and then have to fill in with mid level role guys to fit under the cap. That's why LJ was playing and counting on a guy like Miller rather than Jordan having a guy like Rodman.
. . . there is nobody like Rodman . . .
And for the 1991 bulls the majority of acquired players were there since 1988. Only two that joined team in 1990 were cliff Livingston and Dennis Hopson, who were responsible for zero starts, 13 and 12 minutes per game and 4 points each
I'm actually impressed you were able to run those stats, however, the day and age of basketball now cannot even be compared to 30+ years ago in the vein of free agency. Hell, today, there are very few teams who actually draft guys and keep them for a number of years. There are so many trades just on draft day alone. Back then, free agency was not seen as quite the goldmine that it is now especially with much lower salary cap levels.
